The annual fee is $95.

This information should be included in the OP.
One thing to note with this offer is that you can claim the 80,000 points with this and then downgrade the card to a Double Cash in a year. Effectively giving the Double Cash a 800$ sub
1) Meet spending requirement on Citi Premier card
2) Earn 80,000 point sign up bonus
3) Downgrade Premier to Double Cash or Custom Cash before you're charged with another annual fee
4) Points balance should carry over from Premier to your downgrade card

I was approved for the Premier card, and then I was able to generate a virtual card number within the Citi website once the card was linked to my existing Citi account. The virtual card number appeared to work when I paid a random bill.

Any con to using this virtual card number until my real card arrives (e.g. purchases won't earn rewards or count toward the $4,0000 target or something stupid)?

What's the logic that it might not work?

How'd you get the virtual card? I still have to wait 5-7 business days and hoping to use it sooner

Because the transactions weren't showing points, but now everything looks correct. The purchases made with the virtual card appear to have earned points as expected.

I already had a Citi account, so a couple of days after the card shipment notice I logged in to the Citi site and there was an option on the dashboard page that showed me there was a new account that needed to be linked to my Citi account.

Once I did that, I could see the Premier card listed with my other cards and within its options there was a link to generate a new Virtual Card number.

I got approved instantly this morning. My 3 credit scores are in the 825-830 range. My income is $120k/year and my only debt is a mortgage that's under $500/month, credit cards are paid in full each month. My credit limit on the approval is a laughable $3,000. The limit on my Double Cash card is $22,600, so I'm not sure what they're thinking. I called to try to get it raised, but they said my account wasn't fully setup yet and that I should call back in 3-4 days.

Wait...your mortgage is $500 per month and you can't pay it off...? What are you on? 1000 years mortgage? 😂

Cool I just did that. Hopefully it applies to the spending minimum.

The annual fee is charged as soon as the account is opened, or shortly after. I have had the card 2 months now and the AF was charged the first month
